A proposal is being prepared in Sudbury to have a supervised consumption site in the city but some say action needs to be taken now.

On Thursday, about 50 people met to hear more on how public health officials and their allies are responding to Sudbury's growing opioid crisis. In 2017, there were 34 opioid-related deaths in Sudbury.
